Review of Emerson College

from Laguna Niguel, CA

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

Emerson is one of those schools that allows you to study and pursue what you want to from the very beginning. A lot of what you learn is hands on and you begin working the first day you arrive. Aside from your education, Emerson has so many organizations on campus that also provide opportunities for you to learn. The Emerson Channel is Emerson's college broadcast network. Students are able to use real equipment to produce shows of their choice. They are able to get involved in all aspects, talent, production, writing, etc.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

I love Emerson College so much! What other place can you gain experience, in the city, and feel prepared for your future. I truly believe that Emerson provides you with all the tools to succeed, but it is up to you to achieve it. The professors are professional individuals in their field, that form a personal relationship with each of their students. A professor this semester actually helped me to receive an internship this summer at a local news station in California. The Emerson Student community is one that is heavily involved in work and experience.

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

Emerson is one of the pricier schools in Boston. But I do believe that it is worth it. I believe education is priceless and Emerson is a place that teaches and educates its students in exactly what they want to do for their future. Also, with proper planning the finance office will work with you and you can apply for scholarships.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

1. Plan ahead: The emerson student knows what they want to do, so have an insight of what you want to get involved in. 2. Be Prepared: Work in advance with your finances so you will be able to attend the college. 3. Work Hard: Get ready to work very hard, but in things that you are actually interested in. 4. Have fun: There is so much to do at Emerson that you will have so much fun. 5. Don't be afraid to say NO!

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Students who are interested in pursuing a career in communications. Students who are driven and determined. Students who want a hands on experience with their education. Students who are interested in the city of Boston. Students who love indie music and enjoyed their theater class in high school. Students who have an opinion about the world and aren't afraid to show it.
